Cohen Preparing for Public Testimony Wednesday

Michael Cohen is preparing for one of the most anticipated testimonies under the Trump presidency.

He's scheduled to publicly testify Wednesday in front of a House committee. Sources told CNN that during his closed-door testimony on Tuesday, Cohen apologized to the Senate intelligence committee for lying to Congress.
